Hey everyone,

As some of you may know, I purchased Rod's Mullet back in February.

I finally got it in my possession and have begun an over haul. Rod's work was nothing short of a master piece.
You can clearly see how much time and effort was put into his build. I'm very thankful to be the new owner and finishing his dream of a built engine with the Ultra kit.

In the meantime, sent the fuel injectors for cleaning and have begun cleaning the rest of the fuel system.

Cheers everyone!

Update: Heat exchanger has been found

Just an FYI the intercooler never made on the bike, from Rod's build. So the cooler was at his house, not his parents house. So im sure its long gone!

Oil cooler was found. It was in his parents house. But yes the inter cooler is still at large lol.

I'll double check his build. I 99.9% he had it mounted. The plenum that's on the bike has water in/outlets. So could one make shift the oil cooler to be a water cooler? Is that what the inter cooler was doing anyways, just cooling the water for the plenum?

Ah! Looks like this cooler is for the plenum. Almost looks like an oil cooler.

Ill be perfectly honest here, it never went on the bike because Rod didn't like how it looked. He was disgusted with how the previous owner of the parts could beat parts sooo bad.
He took a bunch of the parts and refinished them before installing them on the bike.
But the intercooler is a cut down radiator, the mounts on the front of the radiator.
Many people are mounting them with electric fans in the rear under tail area.

I thought the intercooler is the part built into the plenum itself as the core of that model plenum. the part shown missing is the heat exchanger that needs the pump to move water into the intercooler part of plenum?

Yes you're 100% correct on that. That heat exchanger was located and is being shipped to me. Was found in their box of stuff.

So now another thing has come up. The clutch slave cylinder has cracked around the housing. My guess it has heavier clutch springs installed. The bike has a 330 OSD. Is there a support bracket that will fit this kit?

Any ideas??

Thanks.

Yes I'd love that.. Won't be able to execute anything like that until next year. I need to save till then. For this summer what is my bandaid? I have ordered a new slave cylinder and I need to remove these HD springs.
